Luke Haynes, a widely known Quilting artist from Seattle, uses cloth as a higher art form to investigate nostalgia and function, challenging the status quo of expression. His project themes include America’s culture and history, gender bias within culture, use of household textiles, self-portraits, and even "Flightless Birds,' depicting one of nature’s oxymorons. In creating these new images, Luke's curiosity provides an enriching opportunity for students to be exposed to a unique language of work.
